Introduction
Are you still carrying around old traumas and don't even realize it? Do you know how trauma affects your quality of life, health, and soul in the long term?
Do you suffer from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, adrenal stress, anxiety, addictions, cancer, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal disorders? This is just a few illnesses and chronic health issues linked to trauma.
Here are just some of staggering statistics:
- 7.7 million are diagnosed with PTSD in USA. Many who have PTSD are not diagnosed and treated symptomatically.
- 40 million are diagnosed with anxiety. Only 33% seek help.
In light of recent cumulative events over the last couple of years and the stigma associated with trauma, I believe these numbers are higher.
Please ... join me Wed Nov 1st for a presentation and some experientials on Healing Trauma. (Please scroll for complete event details.)
I will also be sharing my own story including healing and how to heal from trauma which can manifest symptoms emotionally, physically, and spiritually and can show up years and decades after a traumatic incident.
The information I will share is backed by scientific and/or medical research and my own personal and professional experiences.
What you will learn, will enlighten you no matter what form of trauma may be lurking in your past here in this life, generationally, or karmicly.
Please join me as I would really LOVE your support on a topic I'm very passionate about.
Together we CAN make change for a better world beginning with US.
In the meantime, don't forget to pause, breathe and take a moment for yourself.
With love and appreciation,
Laura
Healing Trauma Through Spiritually Based Practices
THIS Wednesday, Nov 1st
12pm- 2pm
Hingham Public Library, Hingham, MA
Are you still carrying around old traumas and don't even realize it? Do you know some of the symptoms of trauma? Can you recognize some of the symptoms of abuse?
The topic of abuse ... domestic abuse, child abuse. sex abuse ... is never an easy one to discuss never mind heal from in a way it does not control your life. It can even be very dis-empowering and even energy draining.
Many victims of abuse struggle with moving forward. Many times we are judged harshly for choosing to love someone who ultimately would hurt us. Many times we are left with devastating scars. Many times we feel we've done everything in our power to heal, but somehow the traumatic experiences still haunt us. Just because we were hurt by another, doesn't have to mean a life sentence. Many times the traditional therapies we have sought out doesn’t seem to be working no matter what we seem to try.
Join us for a deep conversation and how to heal those traumatic wounds as Laura shares her healing journey from abuse, her struggles, her triumphs, and why spiritually based practices saved her life. She will discuss how she overcame the dark days and how she reclaimed her power.
